1. The single most pernicious and damaging societal imperative I see in action right now, with Ireland in a Covid wave, is this:
'There's no need to test'.
Why? Not just because it tacitly normalises unmitigated transmission, but, more importantly, it hides Long Covid.

The degree to which American civil society and the media have folded and become collaborators in fascism under the slightest pressure from a weak authoritarian with <40% approval is utterly demoralizing.

So far during Trump's 2nd term, the DOJ has fired or demoted more than two dozen prosecutors who were assigned to hold January 6th insurrectionists accountable.
They were fired for doing their jobs and protecting our democracy. That's outrageous.

In Mexico, women are, and have been, on the front lines of community defense. In Cherán MICH, Purépecha women drove organized crime from their community. In Teuchitlán JAL, it was the mothers of missing kids who exposed the ranch crematorium. We’re on the frontlines here too.
It might be my algorithms. But, from my vantage point, it is largely women—be they white Lululemon SoCal types or women of color, women’s young or old, some with abounding privilege or none at all—who are calling out ICE agents and shaming the ever loving fuck out of them www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6Vt5ACh/

If Vance hoped to persuade his audience, rather than simply insult it, he failed. Indeed, his speech backfired spectacularly, convincing many listeners that America itself is now a threat to Europe. One prominent German politician said: “That was a direct assault on European democracy.”
